Device for exercising the extrinsic eye muscles

Abstract

This relates to a device to be located in front of a person eyes containing a plurality of light sources disposed and mounted near the edge, and on the concave side of a dish shaped wall. The position of said dish shaped wall relative to the user eyes and visual axis is adjustable by means adjustable forhead and chin supports. Each individual light source is sequentially turned on and off. When one light source turns off the following light source turns on immediately or after a predetermined time delay. The sequence may be clockwise, counterclockwise, zig-zag, random or any desired pattern. The person using this invention must move his eyes to focus them on the light source that turns on sequentially.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A device for exercising the eye muscles comprising in combination: a circular dish shaped wall;   a plurality of light sources disposed and mounted on the concave side of said dish shaped wall on one or more closed curved lines near the edge and parallel to it;   an electronic circuitry that control said plurality of light sources each individual light source is sequentially turn on and off, when one light source turn off the following light source turn on;   an electric battery;   an space between the convex side of said dish shaped wall and the inner surface of said back cover bottom to house said electronic circuitry and battery;   an adjustable forehead support;   an adjustable chin support.   
     
     
       2. A device as set forth in claim 1 wherein said plurality of light sources turn ON and OFF sequentially in a clock-wise direction without time delay between the OFF and ON states. 
     
     
       3. A device as set forth in claim 1 wherein said plurality of light sources turn ON and OFF sequentially in a counter clock-wise direction without time delay. 
     
     
       4. A device as set forth in claim 1 wherein said plurality of light sources turn ON and OFF sequentially in a clock-wise direction with a time delay between the OFF and the ON states. 
     
     
       5. A device as set forth in claim 1 wherein said plurality of light sources turn ON and OFF sequentially in a counter clock-wise direction with a time delay between the OFF and ON states. 
     
     
       6. A device as set forth in claim 1 wherein said electronic circuitry incorporates an OFF after delay switch to energize said electronic circuitry.
